Hermann von Kaulbach

He was originally a medical student at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich but, perhaps inspired by his father, quit school to study painting instead.

In 1886, he was appointed a Professor of History Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.

[2] Many of his works are on display at the Museum in Bad Arolsen (his father's birthplace).

Although his work was generally well received, he was occasionally criticized for giving too much attention to detail, while missing the significance of the painting's main subject.

His portrait of Lucrezia Borgia created a controversy because it was considered "too lewd", and his version of the Coronation of St.Elizabeth by Emperor Frederick II was dismissed by some critics as "costume painting".
